Default Rear speaker replacement.

I'm trying to replace my stock speakers that came with the 94 Audi 90 CS. The wiring harness is not like what I've seen before. No regular male and female wiring. Anyone run into this and change us the wiring? How did you do it ? And pic would be very helpful, for me to see what you did.

If you absolutely do not want to run new wires to the rear speakers you can tap into the wires in the red connector behind the radio. This connector was for the original self-amplified speakers. There is a pair of wires you can use for each side. They are fairly small gauge, but work fine for a normal system. The green wires in the Brown connector go to the Front speakers.

If you don't mind. Can you send me a pic of it. I don't have the stock head unit. It's an aftermarket one. But same rule should apply. But a pic would be helpful. Thanks

The job is made easier if you get a aftermarket to factory harness.
I did this years ago when I put a JVC headunit it. Mostly plug and play and easy to remove/update if you use 3M male/female snap connectors.

Can you link me to the wiring harness. I have the stock speakers with aftermarket head unit. I just want to replace the stock wiring harness that is linked to the speakers.
